Steffany's Bunnies

Right before the holidays we spent an afternoon at what Steffany calls her "farm"! The kids had their first hands on encounter with bunny rabbits. Thumper and Dannica were very patient indeed. They pet, fed and hugged the rabbits. Ethan was less hands on as you can imagine and J just keeps proving that she is a lover of all animals!

Jillian's Big Girl Room

I know this post is way overdue, but Jillian's room is finally done. She LOVES the butterfly theme and is adjusting well to being in a big bed. Thanks Mia for the new comforter set and Aunt Paulette for the matching curtain. J feels like a little princess!

ICE: Gaylord Palms Resort

On Tuesday I met my friend Tiffany and her son Michael in Orlando to see Ice at the Gaylord Palms Resort. It was incredible to see the talent,

time and effort that went into creating these colorful sculptures. Little M did great and Tiff did not go into labor so that was even better! The parkas really did keep us warm considering it is 9 degrees inside. If you have never been I highly recommend going once to see for yourself in person!

Hide and Seek

I know, 2 posts in one day! But I have a few things to catch up on after not blogging for 2 weeks! This week the kids had a bad cold and could not go to school on Tuesday. So needless to say we needed to find activities around the house to keep them busy, but low key. Hide and Go Seek is a favorite indoors and outdoors with family and friends. The kids discovered this spot all on their own!

taking turns willingly for once!

Bedtime Stories with Santa

Last Sunday we went with friends for BedTime Stories with Santa at our neighborhood clubhouse. The kids enjoyed cookies, crafts, a story from Mrs. Claus, and even told Santa what they wanted for Christmas-from 5 feet away. Jillian fussed even when they had me sit with her on Santa's lap-and Ethan never got within arm's length of the jolly old man. But, they had a blast with their friends and making a few new ones.

E and his "girlfriend" Alexa. He called her that one day out of the blue!
they were making funny faces in the mirror-sugar kicking in I guess!

J and her buddy Brayden

Story time was so cute

being silly in front of the tree-they helped decorate ours for a solid 30 minutes this year not so sure about this guy-but after she still wanted to tell him what to bring her this year!
